More quotes by Walter Raleigh
Our shipping and sea service is our best and safest defence as being the only fortification and rampart of England.
Walter Raleigh
Youth is the opportunity to do something and to be somebody.
Walter Raleigh
It is not truth, but opinion that can travel the world without a passport.
Walter Raleigh
Even such isTime, which takes in trust Our youth, our joys, and all we have, And pays us but with age and dust, Who in the dark and silent grave When we have wandered all our ways Shuts up the story of our days, And from which earth, and grave, and dust The Lord shall raise me up, I trust.
Walter Raleigh
Whoso desireth to govern well and securely, it behoveth him to have a vigilant eye to the proceedings of great princes, and to consider seriously of their designs.
Walter Raleigh
Fain would I, but I dare not I dare, and yet I may not I may, although I care not, for pleasure when I play not.
Walter Raleigh
Expressive glances Shall be our lances And pops of Sillery Our light artillery.
Walter Raleigh
What is our life? A play of passion. Our mirth the music of division. Our mother's wombs the tyring houses be, Where we are drest for this short Comedy.
Walter Raleigh
Let valour end my life!
Walter Raleigh
There is nothing more becoming any wise man, than to make choice of friends, for by them thou shalt be judged what thou art: let them therefore be wise and virtuous, and none of those that follow thee for gain but make election rather of thy betters, than thy inferiors.
Walter Raleigh
Better it were not to live than to live a coward.
Walter Raleigh
No one is wise or safe, but they that are honest.
Walter Raleigh
The longer it possesseth a man the more he will delight in it, and the older he groweth the more he shall be subject to it for it dulleth the spirits, and destroyeth the body as ivy doth the old tree, or as the worm that engendereth in the kernal of the nut.
Walter Raleigh
Whoever commands the sea, commands the trade whosoever commands the trade of the world commands the riches of the world, and consequently the world itself.
Walter Raleigh
Covetous ambition, thinking all too little which presently it hath, supposeth itself to stand in need of that which it hath not.
Walter Raleigh
If thou marry beauty, thou bindest thyself all thy life for that which, perchance, will neither last nor please thee one year.
Walter Raleigh
Passions are likened best to floods and streams: The shallow murmur, but the deep are dumb.
Walter Raleigh
Death, which hateth and destroyeth a man, is believed God, which hath made him and loves him, is always deferred.
Walter Raleigh
But it is hard to know them from friends, they are so obsequious and full of protestations for a wolf resembles a dog, so doth a flatterer a friend.
Walter Raleigh
Give my scallop-shell of quiet, My staff of faith to walk upon, My scrip of joy, immortal diet, My bottle of salvation, My gown of glory, hope's true gage And thus I'll take my pilgrimage.
Walter Raleigh
